What is the easiest language to learn? what is the hardest language to learn?

[MementoMori777]

im not learning any languages but if i had the brain for it id learn them all, nobody would be able to hide anything from me mwahahaha

[NamerOfStars]

It depends where you're coming from, linguistically. If you know English, German's going to be MUCH easier to pick up than if you only know, say, Korean. Many people will tell you that Kurgan would, logically, be the easiest, but they're wrong, since it doesn't exist and never did.

Something like Esperanto, specifically created to be easy to learn and use, would probably be the easiest. Spanish good is you want to use very few sounds; they think a quarter of the freaking alphabet is just "H" in various costumes, and pronounce it accordingly. Despite what were told in school, English is actually QUITE easy, so long as you don't try to pronounce it. I know a guy who tried to ask for Worcester sauce in Wakatane and accidentally summoned Cthulhu.

The trickiest I've encountered are Icelandic, Vietnamese, and Navajo, but I don't know if that's a sign of real difficult or just what I've found or where I've started from.

yea languages are confusing and they just seem impossible to learn by just looking at them, every tried learning chinese? i did for like 10 minutes and i was just like "yep this ain't happening" 🤣

[Avicenna]

The closeness of that language to ones you already know, your learning style and, most important, how much contact you have with it.

For a native English speaker in the US, Spanish is probably the easiest to learn.

Hardest would be a language with very different grammar and phonology as well as a completely unrelated culture. Something like Mandarin or Cantonese. Tonal languages are easier for people with musical ability, though. If you hate grammar, Japanese may be the hardest.

[Curiosity2006]

English probably is the easiest of all, in my opinion. No gender for nouns nor adjectives. And no Genitive or Accusative either. Whereas lots of other languages have them. Russian, German, Arabic, you name it.

Check this for instance, Красивый, красивое, красивая, красивые, красивого, красивой. They're all the Russian word for Beautiful. #1 Masculine, #2 Neutral, #3 Feminine, #4 Plural. #5 Dative, #6 Accusative.

Arabic & Chinese can be the most difficult, due to the immense differences in comparison to Latin alphabet. One is read from Right-to-Left for instance and the other uses symbols for alphabets.

[MementoMori777]

so your brain was just keeping all this information from me, rude smh

what's the difference between all the beautifuls? are they different spellings completely or its the same word but spelled a bit different?

[Curiosity2006]

XP
Same word but the ending is spelled differently to fit the position of the sentence, as well as the gender of the word. Hand is feminine, Рука. Whereas mouth is masculine, Рот.
So, У тебя красивая рука и красивый рот.
You also can't say 'I have a friend' and 'I going to my friend' the same way, Friend will have to adjust to fit the accusative case. And so on with the dative. And you'll have to memorise every word with its various endings, since some of them differ.

pyka pot together means...

seems kinda comolicated but russian might not be too too hard cause i can still use the English letters to speak russian right? 🤗

[Curiosity2006]

lol Ruka rot XD
Well, no. Some letters are pronounced and read exactly like English, these are: А а, М м, Т т, О о, К к, Е е (occasionally). Some look exactly like their English counterparts, but have a different pronunciation. We call those 'The Double Agents': С с, Р р, В в, У у, Н н, Х х, Ь ь. And others that are completely different from English: Я я, Ч ч, И и, Й й, Ё ё, Б б, Ю ю, Ф ф, Ы ы, П п, Л л, Д д, Ж ж, Э э, Ц ц, Г г, Ш ш, Щ щ, З з, Ъ ъ.

It is easy to learn though, just like any other language. If you put your mind to it, you can do/learn anything.

[MementoMori777]

russian seems somewhat understandable tho, now i just gotta learn the alphabets how do i get the Russian alphabet tho, i dont have these fancy letters in my phone 😤

[Curiosity2006]

There are a variety of sites really, you can use this one for instance http://duolingo.com to learn any language you want, even endangered ones. If you wish a direct way to solely learn the alphabet, https://www.russianforfree.com/alphabet.php this will do. Your phone should have it in Settings / Languages. *Supposedly* though.

[MementoMori777]

well i always did want to know Latin, just walking around talking to people in latin they gonna be like wtf 😂

[Curiosity2006]

You'd make a perfect exorcist! 😂😂😂 'In Nomine Patris es Filii et Spiritus Sancti, amen!'

[MementoMori777]

i think i gotta get closer to god to be able to do stuff like that 😂

[_Maya_]

Easiest is the way to Maya's stomach. Give me sweets like chocolate or ice cream and I melt faster than it does. Do it a certain time of month and I give you an award. Like seriously load the chocolate up and I'm gonna be eternally grateful. You give me a heating pad during those roughs days? Can we marry then? I'm down lolz 😆

[MementoMori777]

well the Maya language seems complicated yet simple, you have a book on this wonderful language? 😆🤔

[_Maya_]

Read back of chocolate box. You got it then.

[MementoMori777]

what type of chocolates? they all have boxes lol

[_Maya_]

Pick one 😆

[MementoMori777]

milk chocolate, although there's many things outside the chocolate field that can satisfy your tastebuds, if youve never had Argentinean sweets, you are missing out Maya, you wouldn't go back to chocolates, they also have chocolate stuff tho

[_Maya_]

Read back with ingredients. Step one. Maya hungry. Step two. Give Maya box. Married.

[MementoMori777]

well i believe i could do a lot better than that but Mayas soul is easily satisfied respect 😆💯

[purplepoppy]

The easiest ones are those most closely related to your own. So if your first language is English then Swedish and Norwegian are the easiest.

Languages using a different writing system and have subtle tonal differences like Asian languages are the hardest.

[MementoMori777]

i see, you should use your brain more poppy, it looks strange when smart stuff comes out of you 😂

[purplepoppy]

All my posts are smart

[MementoMori777]

pff alright buddy, ill play along, if anything its smartly finessed lol

[Meropatrick]

In my opinion most languages are difficult to learn. But i think czech had the easist grammar. I was shock at how easy it was. But again inorder to learn a language you need to memorise many words and spelling. I learned English for 17years and i still suck at it.

[MementoMori777]

i guess it would also depend on the current languages you already know as well, for example if you know Spanish, italian and Portuguese would be also easier to learn because they are very similar, if you are Czech then i wouldn't be surprised if English is a struggle for you, even tho you seem to be doing a pretty good job bro

[Meropatrick]

Thanks😄

[jennifer_bloom]

I was told Japanese and Arabic are hard languages to learn and Spanish and Portuguese are considered easy languages to learn. But how hard the language depends on your background. Japanese might be easy to pick up for a Korean and Arabic might be easy for somebody who speaks Hebrew.

[DryGermanGuy]

Relatively easy:

Latin languages with the same core: English, Spanish, German, Dutch

Hard:

Languages outside the Latin alphabet: Arabic, Hebrew, Asian languages

[MementoMori777]

yea that is crazy, the roots of languages and how humanity has evolved even with communication, crazy stufd

[MementoMori777]

stuff*

[Billlewis]

Spanish is the easiest, Greek or Mandarin Chinese is probably the hardest.

[MementoMori777]

say something in not English lol

[LostandFound__x]

I was born into an Arab family and I can still say the language is so bloody hard lol

[MementoMori777]

yea y'all use some wild symbols to communicate, i could never learn that 🙃

[LostandFound__x]

🤣🤣 true we’re a little bit like Italians

[MementoMori777]

in some ways i guess 😆

[Ali4Sy]

Helloo I think we aren't like Italians the Italian language are so much easier 😂💔 even I didn't try to learn it before

[LostandFound__x]

@Ali4Sy haha I mean we use our hands a lot when we’re talking

[Ali4Sy]

@LostandFound__x in 😂😂 this way you're totally right 💯

[LostandFound__x]

@Ali4Sy haha

[AmandaYVR]

I heard Spanish is easy and English is hard. It's vast, so many words...

[MementoMori777]

i can't agree with that, i know both and i guess it depends on their original language lol

[Ali4Sy]

You can learn German which I think it's not difficult

[MementoMori777]

seem difficult to me lol

[Ali4Sy]

I hope you find an easy language

[MementoMori777]

thanks bro

[Taya9]

I speak Russian, English, a little Norwegian, but German is the hardest for me. I gave up

[MementoMori777]

well pyka pot on germany, i just learned those words today and im proud of it, but you should keep trying on german lol

[Taya9]

hmmmmm I will think about it

[MementoMori777]

fair enough 🙂💯

[Lexina]

None is so easy as well as any being overly difficult, I believe with consistency and diligence, one could learn any language well

[MementoMori777]
